History of creation
Veterans of Space Forces – Ukrainian humorous collective, which gained popularity and recognition thanks to its unique style of humor and bright images of the charismatic members of the trio. The team consists of:
- Vlad Kuran (Oster);
- Olexandr Venedchuk (Venya) (Kyiv);
- Artem Damnytsky (Pryluky).
Creative path
Venya, Kuran and Damnytsky started their humorous journey while they were still students. The comedians have repeatedly won victories on the stage of the Student League of the KVC. A real take-off for the team was their participation in the fourth season of the humor festival “League of Laughter”. The following year, in the fifth season (2019), under the guidance of Stanislav Boklan, the team won the championship title and established a reputation as bright favorites of the humorous genre.
Social activity
The veterans of the Space Forces not only bring humor to a large audience of fans, but also actively maintain contact with viewers on Instagram and Telegram, and develop their own YouTube channel. Among the team’s popular projects:
- “Blue is Evil”. This is a show where participants are given only one hour to complete a seemingly elementary task. But not everything is so simple – every 5 minutes they have to drink a glass. And under the influence of this potion, any everyday task turns into a real test, full of funny moments and unexpected twists;
- "Quiz". This is an intellectual and entertaining show, where Venya and Kuran go into a duel against star duos. The stakes are an incredible prize, which no one would ever buy on their own. It is this absurdity that makes the fight even more interesting, and the atmosphere of the show - bright and unpredictable;
- "Elias". This is a kind of "crocodile" in the format of a conversational game. Participants must describe the word from the card so that the team can guess it. Both "veterans" - Kuran, Venya and Damnytskyi, and invited star guests join the game. So each round becomes a combination of experience, humor and live communication.

The comedians themselves have repeatedly pleased fans with their participation in other projects. They starred in the TV series "Volunteers", "Country U 2.0". They were guests of the program "Quiet Evening" with Olena Kravets.
VKV continues to show noticeable creative activity. Comedians meet their fans not only through screens, but also organize live concerts as part of their tours. Such live shows are a real gift for fans who can feel the energy of their idols right in the hall.
